The Benefits of Block Play 🧱

Block play is much more than just building towers! Through block play, children develop important skills such as problem-solving, creativity, communication, and teamwork. As they build, balance, design, and create, they are also strengthening their fine motor skills, spatial awareness, and early maths concepts. Most importantly, block play encourages imagination and confidence as children bring their ideas to life through play.

A Heartfelt Thank You 💛

We would like to extend our sincere thanks to a local parent who recently donated a generous collection of non-perishable food items to our community pantry.

Their kindness and generosity will help ensure that families and individuals in our community have access to essential food items when they need them most. Acts of compassion like this make a meaningful difference and remind us of the strength and support that exists within our community.

Can you believe we are halfway through our Veggie Fun Program for 2026? 🙌Our Veggie Fun Program runs for 10 months of the year, giving the QCCS Kindergarten Children real-world experience of our farm to plate approach to food & nutrition. By learning, planting, growing, harvesting and cooking our featured vegetables, children develop an understanding of food systems, as well as confidence in the kitchen.

This month our feature vegetable is beetroot! Loved on burgers in Australia, this nutrient rich vegetable will be whipped up into a creamy beetroot dip by our kindergarten children. Don’t forget to ask about the fun facts they have learned, they will love to share their new knowledge with you.
